This system runs fast, cool, and quiet. Using an mATX motherboard in a case as large as the Chakra is great as there is plenty of room for air circulation, plenty of room to move, and plenty of room to run cabling.

The first board was DOA. The LED lights would turn on, but pushing the case power switch or the on-board start button did nothing. I filed an RMA request, which was promptly approved, and sent it back to NCIX based on their instructions. They received the board roughly one week later, tested it, found it to be dead, and sent me a new one within a week, despite being very busy. All the while, I received outstanding help from Technical Support Specialist Ryuji, who really should be awarded for providing such excellent service (Thank you Ryuji!!!).

In conclusion, I was disappointed that I received a dead board, especially from a company as renowned as ASUS. However, I do realize that there are lemons out there, and that I was just one of the unlucky people who got one. Since the new board seems to be working well, I am satisfied with my purchase. Overall, it is a great product.

SummaryThe motherboard is really nice i have my 3570k running at 44g's with 2133 ram clocked in.. tripping on the power of PCIE 3.0 x16 with a EVGA classified 680 installed.... its a big beast in a small package i cant complain about Intels new technology......however this MotherBoard is not windows 8 ready as advertised.

SummaryThis motherboard as 100% solid aluminium japanese capacitor. Plus, it as 8+4 phase for the cpu circuit, and 2 phase for the memory circuit, which enable more stability when overclocking to very high frequency.

Overclocking with this board is so easy and fun. Back in the days I used to OC with DFI board, had lots and lots of problem, but this board totally rocks.

There's a red LED on the board that follows the soundcard circuit. it's nice if you've a gaming tower with a side windows. But for ma it's useless, it just makes more light in my room, so I turned it off via the EFI-BIOS.

ProsIt is an amazing board, I have it paired with a 3770K and a Noctua NH-DH14, easily OC'd to 4.5ghz, also there is an easy CPU Level Up option for anyone to easily OC using this mobo

ConsNot sure how much of a con this is, but with a big heatsink like I have going (Noctua NH-DH14), it comes very close to the first PCI-E x16 slot, so watch out, but can easily install it on the 2nd PCI-E slot, however that runs as x8, just a good to know :)

SummaryUsing this in a passively cooled HTPC with an i5-3550. Upgraded from the Maximus IV Gene-Z, which is extremely similar to this. Great board overall though! Tons of power saving / overclocking / customization options in the BIOS. Decent audio quality as well.
